A broad classification encompassing numerous intelligent extraterrestrial species encountered throughout the Dragon Ball universe. From Frieza Force grunts to Tournament of Power competitors, aliens of every shape and size populate the cosmos.

Green, reptilian aliens from Planet Alpha who were wiped out by Kid Buu during his rampage across the universe. Armed with ray guns and advanced cities, they still stood no chance against the ancient Majin.

The most powerful beings in the Dragon Ball multiverse, Angels serve as attendants and teachers to the Gods of Destruction. All are children of the Grand Minister, exist in a permanent state of Ultra Instinct, and operate under strict laws of neutrality that carry the penalty of total erasure.

Anthropomorphic animals are a defining feature of Dragon Ball's world. Walking, talking animals hold jobs, run governments, and live alongside humans as equal citizens, with the King of Earth himself being a blue dog.

Demon beasts from Planet Ankoku, a world of total darkness in the deepest corner of the universe. The Ankoku-seijin feed on light energy and possess retractable arm blades, making them dangerous predators. Yakon, servant of Babidi, is the most well-known member.

Insectoid aliens from the planet Arlia who lived under the tyranny of King Moai. Vegeta and Nappa briefly liberated them during a stopover on their way to Earth, only to destroy the entire planet moments later.

Bipedal dinosaur creatures from Universe 10's Planet Babari. Their violent, primitive nature became the catalyst for Zamasu's growing contempt toward mortal life, setting in motion the most dangerous theological crisis in Dragon Ball Super.

An extinct race of ultra-intelligent, diminutive aliens from Planet Beenz. The only known members, the brothers Rasin and Lakasei, were resurrected from fossils by Turles using the power of the Tree of Might.

Eternal Dragons are divine wish-granting beings summoned through sets of Dragon Balls.

They are among the oldest known species in Frieza's galactic army.
